The main idea in this project was to generate a stationary unique appealing interaction device in combination with the possibility to allow user to change the presented content autonomously. The idea is to deploy such a stationary device in museums where the user can collect cards and then can go to the machine to view additional information.

• ID-12LA RFID Reader (125 kHz)
• RFID-tag (125 kHz)
• RFID USB Board (USB to serial base unit)
• miniUSB cable

The patch consists of four parts.

The root patch sets up the data points and the threshold called epsilon which controls how close the slider has come to a data point that this on reacts.

The patch communicates with the RFID reader and outputs the matching RFID tag index location as integer.

This patch looks a bit messy. In this patch all textures except the world map get loaded. Input variables are the X and Y location of all hotspots. The slider position and the RFID index location named RFIDSlice

This patch convertes the values of the mousewheel to a range of 1 and -1
